I tell you things
All the time
Things that I mean
And I never whine

I tell you things from deep down
Things that are true
Things about you that erase my frown

But every time I tell you something sweet
You never return the treat
You want to be with me
But there is something you love more
You want to be with me
But what for?

Do you know
That when you say certain things I cry
That when you say certain things I usually lie
Do you know
That it seems you would choose it over me
But I smile right through what I think
I pretend it is something that could never be

I tell you things
They are always true
I tell you things
But you never do

Maybe you would be happier without me in the picture
Maybe you would be happier if love was not in the mixture

I know I want you
I know I want you
I do not know what you desire
But it sure doesn't seem like it's me
In fact, I know it's not me
I know you're a liar

Choose it over me
Just do it so it is done
Choose it over me
Leave me alone in the sun
